Before departing Taiwan, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang told reporters that 2025 will be a thrilling year for AI, and that Taiwan’s collaboration with NVIDIA will be instrumental in bringing AI to the global stage. He also hinted at returning for the next Lunar New Year.
Huang’s whirlwind visit included a keynote speech at COMPUTEX, stops at multiple partner booths on the exhibition floor, and several days of dinners with leading Taiwanese suppliers.
On Friday morning, Huang emerged from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, cheerfully signing autographs for fans before heading to the airport—concluding an eight-day visit.
Speaking to media outside the airport, Huang described how AI has entered a new phase—one that can reason, think step by step, and solve problems it’s never encountered. This capability, known as “Agentic AI,” enables machines to help plan vacations, streamline workflows, and accelerate robotics development.
While Taiwan is full of innovation, Huang noted, it faces a shortage of manpower. With AI and robotics, however, those constraints can be overcome. He expressed enthusiasm for NVIDIA’s Blackwell chips, designed specifically for inference tasks, and celebrated Taiwan’s increasing production capacity. As full-scale production ramps up, he said, NVIDIA’s global network of partners—led by Taiwan—will help usher AI into the next era.
